Designing Technology That Serves Humanity
With a focus on advancing the study of information as a critical societal resource, shaping how individuals, organizations and communities create, access and use knowledge, work in Information, based in UT’s School of Computing, centers on three core areas: the interactions of people and information; the processes of organizing and managing information; and the impacts of emerging technologies and behaviors on society. In an era defined by rapid technological change, experts in Information examine how information systems influence how people connect, learn, conduct business and participate in culture and governance.
